I suppose under modern EU consumer regulation it will have to be made from the real thing.

Oh and whilst I'm away someone has found my blog using the search term"startrek alien women"
I don't think I've ever used the term Star trek on my blog!
You're called Jim! Here's your reference to Star Trek :)
They're women Jim, but not as we know them!
It's the Internet. It's life Jim but not as we know it.
Women on the starboard bow, starboard bow....

Women. Plural of woman. Female. Opposite of male.One of these

In a desperate attempt to restore a smidgen of artistic credibility to this thread I refer you to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCARAD...
Not high art as such but it might just draw a veil over some of the previous contributions......

I was rather nervous clicking on a GL link like that. For once it was quite safe

Ah yes, I've run away from a few of those (and should have run away from others!)
And how fast were you running, we wonder?
We wonders preciousss, yes we wondersss
Just something else I've writtenA bit specialist, http://www.pelgranepress.com/?p=14373
It's handy if you've bought the Gaean Reach roleplaying game, but actually if you're a fan of Jack Vance's SF it might just be of interest.
Some of the entries
The introduction
For your edification and delight I have toiled unceasingly. Only a person of the highest calibre could have hardened his heart as I have and unblushingly allowed so many deadlines to drift past.
Deadlines, editors, Pah! Nailing them upside down to a church door is too good for suchlike. But still, I have laboured. I have worn out a mouse (Plus two sommeliers and a wandering flagellant), I have peered at maps, faded and stained by the passing of the decades, I have squinted under strange lights and discoursed with people whose skin has been tanned by fiercer suns.
And I have made a pile of all I have found.
Some may call me capricious. Indeed the word whimsical has even been used. Beware of any who use such words, they tend to sip small beer from small glasses and pay poorly, pushing thin piles of script across the table, when a true aficionado would shower you with hard currency, suitcases full of it, used notes, non-sequential, in refreshingly large denominations.
There, I have spoken. Read on, but at your peril, lest you glimpse a universe so rich that mere reality seems bland and inconsequential.
Arcturus Legend PoC 155 Frankly we know nothing thing, it may be an illusion, a figment of humanities collective imagination, a destination of desire? Should you discover the truth of this place and provided it is not too sordid, the editors would doubtless be gratified to learn more. But note all researches must be at the researchers own expense.
Cassiopeia AS 87 It is the sort of place where ones relatives live, but where one would never visit oneself.
Esplanade SK135
TF26 Also the ‘Grand Esplanade’. This road is the centre of fashionable, and to a lesser extent, unfashionable, Avente life. That being said it must be remembered that many cities in the Concourse have one, although never with as much zest. There again, even for Avente, the Esplanade becomes Pilkamp Road when it reaches the city of Rath Eileann. Let that be a lesson in humility for all of us.
That went completely over my head. Every word of it.
Obviously you've never read much Jack Vance SF.He's a author so well loved that they actually put together a 44 volume intergral edition not long before he die. As a volunteer project!

I've probably read some in the distant past.
This booklet is something I was 'commissioned' to do, rather than something I did with the idea of publishing it. I am tempted to do a Tsarina Sector background book for the Gaean Reach rule-set :-)
I hear you have also been talking to Caspian. Have you recovered yet?
Oh yes :-)I've also forwarded his video link to people
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D41rvn...
Well worth a look and a ponder :-)
Im just about to have a look at it now. All excited :-)
Even better I've got Gingerlily frantically searching her cookery books for 'Ris de yak avec sauce fumiste.'
Cookery books? Do I have cookery books?
Chimney sweep sauce? My French is execrable (as I never have learnt it) and that's what google has given me. The sweetbreads I can cope with
According to google translate it's humbug sauceI wonder if it's all in the black and white
humbug sauce might be quite nice on a dessert actually
You've crashed the server at giannios with that one GL.
Weren't me miss!!
Well if they come round to check, it's that other Jim Webster's thread

No the other Jim Webster. I'm the innocent one, he, the one that just left before (you've just missed him) it's all his fault
The sheep were lying then...
They always do!On a totally different topic, been pondering something new
Thinking of getting the Land of the Three Seas facebook page activated properly
Will it be like the Tsarina one? Well, probably less Yak and Gastropod pics...
And more pictures of bedroom windows and roof top architecture
A few maps maybe...
The ironic thing is there are plenty of hand drawn maps
Cool, I'd love to see it. Love the hand too GL.
